Dave the Diver is possibly coming to Xbox Game Pass soon, according to a new prediction from a well-known Microsoft leaker. The hit genre hybrid could be aiming to reach Xbox Game Pass in late July 2024.
Developed by Nexon subsidiary Mintrocket, Dave the Daver combines action-adventure gameplay with management sim elements by tasking players to explore undersea environments during the day while running a sushi restaurant at night. It was originally released for PC and the Nintendo Switch in June and October 2023, respectively, before making its way to PlayStation consoles in April 2024. Many critics praised Dave the Diver for its captivating gameplay loop and engaging exploration, helping propel it to the title of one of the highest-rated games of 2023. That immense level of renown is reflected in its OpenCritic aggregate score of 90, as well as its perfect 100% reviewer recommendation rate.
Dave the Diver Could Come To Xbox Game Pass in July 2024
Dave the Diver may now be on its way to Microsoft's subscription service, with Spanish YouTuber eXtas1s speculating that the game could reach Xbox Game Pass in the second half of July 2024. That's quite a bold prediction, not least because the game hasn't even been announced for Xbox consoles yet. While Dave the Diver could possibly be a PC Game Pass-only release, the leaker with a long track record of verified Xbox scoops doesn't necessarily believe that would be the case, having suggested as much in his latest video.
The YouTuber's newest rumor roundup also saw him add more credence to a recent Insider Gaming report claiming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is coming to Xbox Game Pass soon. According to eXtas1s, that information is indeed accurate, with the game itself being slated to reach Microsoft's subscription service in late July 2024, together with one other title that was previously released on PlayStation consoles and PC. While he believes that other game to be Dave the Diver, he framed its purported XGP release as a prediction rather than a leak.
The recent announcement of the second wave of July 2024 additions to Xbox Game Pass came as a slight disappointment to some subscribers, not least because the confirmed release batch ended up including just three titles: Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, Dungeons of Hinterberg, and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. EXtas1s claims that's because Microsoft wanted to give the trio some time to shine rather than risking overshadowing it with Modern Warfare 3.
The YouTuber reports that the arrival of Modern Warfare 3 and another mysterious game that might be Dave the Diver will most likely be announced by the end of the fourth week of July. Since Microsoft rarely shares major Xbox Game Pass news during weekends, the insider's claim implies that the remaining monthly additions to the service will be confirmed no later than next Friday, July 26.
